I’ve always talked to my son about consent and boundaries.
And this week we’ve talked about it a lot.

Yeah, it is kind of awkward for teenagers to talk about these things with their parents, especially teenage boys to their mothers, but it has to happen.
I always tell him only a very enthusiastic YES is a yes. That’s it. No trying to convince anyone to do something they’re clearly not comfortable with, and have reservations about.

An intoxicated person can not consent.

A person has to only tell you once to stop&that’s it,etc
@Lolo_cy has this great thread about teaching consent to children.

Children have to feel empowered that their no counts for something.
I check my ego a lot when it comes to my son. I negotiate on a lot of things and I have a few things that are non negotiable that usually have to do with safety, education, etc.

He has a voice& I listen.
